Does Debt Consolidation Work? Here’s the Truth.

If you’re buried under credit card balances, you’ve probably wondered: Does debt consolidation actually work? The honest answer is: Yes—and No. It all depends on how you use it.

In this video, we break down exactly how debt consolidation works, when it doesn’t work at all, and how to use it the right way to actually get out of debt faster and save money.

? What is Debt Consolidation?
Debt consolidation means combining multiple debts (like credit cards) into one new loan. You use that loan to pay off your credit cards or other high-interest debts, leaving you with one monthly payment—ideally at a lower interest rate.

? Why Debt Consolidation Doesn’t Work for Everyone:
You still owe the same amount. It’s not magic—it’s a transfer.
If you consolidate and then run up your credit cards again, your debt situation gets worse.
It’s not a fix for overspending—it’s a tool, and it only works if used responsibly.

? When Debt Consolidation Does Work:
Lower Interest Rates = Big Savings
If you’re paying 22–31% interest on your credit cards, and you can consolidate into a loan at 16% or lower, you’ll save hundreds—even thousands—over time.
Example:
$19,000 in credit card debt at 22–31% APR = $759/month payment
$19,000 consolidated into a 16% loan = $540/month
You save $124/month in interest
Pay extra each month and get out of debt 12 months faster!
Fixed Loan Term = Debt Payoff Date
Credit card debt can linger for 16+ years with minimum payments. A consolidation loan gives you a clear finish line, like 48 months.
Monthly Budget Relief
Lower payments = breathing room. Going from $759 to $540 per month could be a game-changer if you’re barely making ends meet.

The key is in the math. Make sure it works for you.

Federal Reserve’s $8.5 Trillion Debt Bomb That’s Shaping Interest Rate Policy Behind the Scenes

*********** Video Breakdown ***********

As we approach the next FOMC meeting, the market’s pricing in a Fed pivot, sooner than later. With betting market’s putting the odd’s the Fed cuts rates in early 2024. However when you ask Jerome Powell, he says the opposite, that they aren’t even considering a change in policy anytime soon, not until they are sufficiently convinced inflation is firmly back down to 2%.

Well it turns out the Federal Reserve may have another reason why pivoting on the current monetary policy may not only be possible, but required. We often discuss the wall of corporate and commercial real estate loan maturities coming in 2024, well it turns out the U.S. Government also has a wave of loan maturities scheduled in 2024, $8.5 trillion worth!

We look at what this means for the possibility of interest rate policy, how it can impact the U.S. economy in 2024, what it could mean for the U.S. housing market, and what happens when these loans mature.

What do you think will happen? How much in renewed interest expense do you think the U.S. will face if the Fed keeps interest rates this high? Well make sure to watch to find out!

*********** ABOUT RJ ***********

In 2012 I built Snapforce CRM, a software as a service application to compete with Salesforce, which was very expensive at the time. Since then, our user base has expanded to over 65,000 users in 12 countries. Our largest customer’s are mortgage companies and debt shops, who use our software for their sales process, and to check customer’s credit in real time.

With the type of clients we cater to, I decided to launch Snapforce Real Estate Insights last year, a peripheral software as a service product. It integrates directly with the big 3 real estate brokerages, to present their housing data in a digestible way, using our interactive maps and reports.
